We have had very good and exciting progress in the last 3 months. Despite the heavy rains that have made working in the open fields more difficult we have achieved the following; 1. We harvested 1.5 tones of onions that we sold out directly to retail customers over the months of September and October. We made close to 90 retail customers that loved our " farm to kitchen" model. 2. We are expecting to harvest close to 6000 cabbages in the next 2 weeks and we are just as excited to sell them all out. 3.We still have onions in the farm that we shall be harvesting within the next two weeks and a ready retail market for them. 4. We have a relatively good harvest of potatoes. comment image

Add this 20% of income, I will use 10% to increase my capital, and 5% for family needs and 5% I will save for emergencies. I am proud to be self-employed and to be free to carry out my daily duties.
